Fairy Tail: Capturing the Demon Mirajane at the Start

The middle-aged man, exuding an overwhelmingly powerful aura and with an unkempt appearance, asked Igor and Mirajane with a smile.

"Fairy Tail? Never heard of it..."

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna looked at the middle-aged man with blank expressions and told him the truth.

"Uh."

The middle-aged man looked somewhat embarrassed and then turned to look at the silent Igor.

"call."

When Igor saw who it was, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the unease and irritation that had been rising in his heart instantly vanished.

"Oh? You know me?"

The middle-aged man with short orange-red hair raised an eyebrow slightly after noticing the change in Igor's expression.

"Ah."

"As long as you're from the Kingdom of Fiore, there's probably no one who doesn't know Gildarts, the strongest scumbag mage on the continent of Ishgar, right?"

Igor solemnly announced the name of the person who had come.

Yes, the disheveled, orange-haired middle-aged man in front of you is none other than Gildarts, the strongest mage in Fairy Tail.

Yes, yes, yes.

"I am the strongest scumbag mage on the continent of Ishgard..."

When Gildarts heard the first part of Igor's sentence, he was still smiling smugly, but when he heard the word "scum", his expression changed immediately: "You're kidding! I'm not scum."

Chapter 8: The formidable Gildarts!

"You wretched brat, who told you I'm a scumbag mage?!"

Gildarts frowned. Igor's first impression of him was very bad, extremely bad.

He's practically on par with that brat Gray.

"This is common knowledge."

Igor smiled. "Do I even need to hear that?"

Every mage on the continent of Ishgard knows Gildarts's reputation as a scumbag.

If Gildarts had just toned it down a little, he probably would have been selected as one of the Ten Wizard Saints by the Magic Council long ago.

It's likely that the continent of Ishgard will now have five Heavenly Kings, not just four.

"Ok."

"I'm not going to argue with you."

Upon hearing this, Gildarts rolled his eyes slightly. He tried to refute Igor, but suddenly realized he seemed to have no way to argue. So he took a deep breath and silently chanted, "A magnanimous person doesn't hold grudges against a petty person! A magnanimous person doesn't hold grudges against a petty person..."

"Ok."

"The demon in the church that the village chief mentioned, you two brats must have taken care of it, right?"

Gildarts paused slightly, looking at Igor and Mirajane, and asked, "So, which of you received the soul of the demon in the church?"

"As expected of Gildarts, he perfectly reconstructed the whole story from just a few simple clues."

After taking in everything Gildarts said, a look of admiration flashed in Igor's eyes. He had to admire the other's sharp mind and senses. With the other's mastery of magic, he probably wouldn't even have room to lie.

"It's me, what's wrong?"

Mirajane looked at Gildarts with slight resentment, admitting that she had received the demon soul.

"what."

"These kids nowadays are really annoying."

After making a sarcastic remark, Gildarts said seriously, "Now that you two have awakened your magic, this village is no longer suitable for you to live in!"

"Why not come to Fairy Tail, the Mage Guild? That's your final destination."

With this in mind, Gildarts extended an olive branch to Mirajane and Igor, hoping that the two could go with him to the Sorcerer's Guild 'Fairy Tail'.

"Fairy Tail, the Magician's Guild?"

Mirajane raised an eyebrow slightly, her expression hesitant. She still hadn't heard of this Mage Guild.

Most importantly, Mirajane felt that Gildarts exuded a suspicious aura and was completely untrustworthy.

"..."

Igor stood silently to the side, but in his mind he was making plans for going to Fairy Tail.

In Igor's opinion, it would be a good thing to take this opportunity to persuade Mirajane to go to Fairy Tail.

After all, just as Gildarts said, it was no longer appropriate for them to stay in this village after they had awakened their magic.

"I refuse!"

However, to the surprise of both Igor and Gildarts, Mirajane directly rejected Gildarts's proposal.

"Huh?"

Why?

Gildarts stared at Mirajane in shock and asked, puzzled.

"Yeah yeah!"

Although Igor didn't say anything, he was also very curious as to why Mirajane would refuse Gildarts's offer to go to Fairy Tail.

"Now that I, Igor, Elfman, and Lisanna have successfully mastered magic, we can live quite comfortably in this world even without joining any mage guild, right?"

Mirajane crossed her arms over her chest, a smug look on her face, and stated a fact.

"Uh."

When Igor learned Mirajane's reason, his expression stiffened slightly, and he thought to himself, "This is bad."

Yes, in the original timeline, Mirajane took her younger siblings to the Fairy Tail guild to solve the problem of localized demonization.

But now that he has solved that problem, Mirajane really has no reason to take her younger siblings across thousands of miles to the Fairy Tail guild.

Igor was so focused on preventing Mirajane from experiencing the pain of being ostracized by the villagers in the original timeline that he forgot about this matter.

"That's true."

Gildas nodded slightly.

Mirajane's words were indeed true. With Mirajane and Igor's talents and strength, they could live a very comfortable life even without joining the Mage Guild.

For a moment, Gildarts felt a little regretful. He had thought he could recruit two more gifted children for the guild, but it seemed that his ability to recruit was still far inferior to Makarov's.

Old Ma: "Kildas, the way you're talking makes me sound like a human trafficker."

"It seems we are destined to meet but not to be together. What a pity! In that case, let's meet again someday."

Gildarts said this and then quietly left. He never forced others to join the Fairy Tail guild.

"and many more."

Mirajane watched as Gildarts was about to leave when she suddenly called out to him.

"Is there anything else, kid...?"

Gildarts slowly turned around, glanced at Mirajane, and asked with a bored expression.

"Hey Hey hey……"

"In any case, trespassing into someone else's house is a very impolite act, isn't it?"

Mirajane asked Gildarts.

"That's true."

Gildarts' eye twitched slightly, but he admitted it.

"Gildarts, I've heard you're the strongest mage on the continent of Ishgar?"

Mirajane continued to press for answers.

"Haha, it's true that some people call me the strongest mage in the western part of the Ishgar Continent, but it's all just empty titles."

Gildarts smiled, his words carrying a hint of indifference.

If he remembered correctly, Serena, the 'God' of the eastern part of the continent of Ishgard, was also the first seat of the 'Ten Wizard Saints' and shared the title of the strongest in the continent of Ishgard.

"In that case, let's have a match!"

"I want to know the gap between myself and the strongest player on the mainland."

Mirajane's gaze toward Gildarts was filled with undisguised fighting spirit and a desire to surpass him.

"Aha?"

"I don't want to fight with that brat."

Upon hearing this, Gildarts immediately bared his teeth, his face showing resistance and impatience.

Back when he was in the Fairy Tail guild, he was already thoroughly annoyed by that brat Natsu.

Now that he's finally gotten out of the guild and can get some fresh air, he just wants to relax.

"Please."

Just then, Igor, who had been silent all along, seemed to have thought of something. He walked up to Gildarts, bowed slightly, and asked for his help.

"Tsk."

"Okay, okay."

"Since you've all asked me to do this, what else is there to say?"

"You two brats, come at me together!"

Gildarts, unable to resist Igor and Mirajane's pleas, sighed and gently beckoned to them with his finger.

"Mira..."

After seeing his tactic succeed, Igor winked at Mirajane beside him.

"take over!"

Mirajane accepted the demon soul within her body without any hesitation.

"Boom!!"

Mirajane spread her wings amidst a violent gust of air and charged toward Gildarts.

"Successful!"

Mirajane watched as she charged in front of Gildarts and excitedly threw a punch.

"Oh!"

To everyone's surprise, Gildarts blocked Mirajane's punch, which was imbued with magic and 'magic particles', with a single hand.

"what?"

Mirajane was shocked. Her punch could probably smash rocks and blow up a small building that was over ten meters tall.

But how could Gildarts so easily block such a powerful punch? Is this the strongest fighting force on the continent?

"Boom!"

Just as Mirajane successfully 'restrained' Gildarts's hand, Igor threw a punch from Gildarts's other side.

"Oh!"

As Igle had expected, Gildarts easily blocked it with his other hand.

"continue."

Gildarts smirked.

"Damn it!"
